Announcement of the New Leadership in the Turkish Cypriot Community
October 21, 2025
The upcoming expanded conference on the Cyprus issue, announced by the UN Secretary-General in September, highlights the change in leadership in the Turkish Cypriot community with the new leader, Tufan Erhurman. Statements from the Government Spokesman reflect hopes for positive collaboration, especially if Erhurman responds favorably to the recent proposals by the UN Secretary-General. Turkey's role remains crucial as its positions diverge from international principles. The upcoming meeting is expected to serve as an opportunity for the resumption of negotiations. The Republic of Cyprus maintains a steady position on the agreed framework for a solution.
